Occasionally, one or more goblin "snatchers" may arrive if you have [[child]]ren in your fortress. They are cowardly [[thieves]], stealthy like [[kobold]]s, but their target is not your valued items, but the children of the fortress. Detecting them is announced by "Snatcher! Protect the children!". They will attempt to kidnap any children they come across and carry a [[bag]] with them for this purpose. After a few attempts, goblin master [[thief|thieves]] may start showing up. Besides being generally more competent, these can also evade [[trap]]s. There is also a small chance of getting the goblin ruler with these thieves, if he is a thief himself. Toady stated in a [[Main:Developer interviews|RPPR interview]] that these children will be raised by the goblins and can eventually show up in future goblin armies. Dwarven, Elven and Human converts are confirmed, though whether or not a child can return and siege his own fortress remains undetected. | Occasionally, one or more goblin "snatchers" may arrive if you have [[child]]ren in your fortress.

| − | Independent of this goblins will [[ambush]] your fortress, sending squads of different soldier types. Later, the sieges begin: your primary adversary in an invasion, goblin numbers increase every year once they start attacking, and eventually begin besieging your fortress more than once a year. Fortunately, they are not very bright, and will walk into traps by the hundreds. They may sometimes come riding [[beak dog]]s as cavalry | + | Independent of this goblins will [[ambush]] your fortress, sending squads of different soldier types.

Goblins carry somewhat valuable gear. They often wear [[giant cave spider]] [[silk]] [[cloth]]ing, [[iron]] [[armor]], even [[steel]] armor (that can be melted down) and steel [[weapon]]s. Crossbowmen will carry dwarf-usable [[bolt]]s. Goblin clothing is considered "[[narrow]]" and dwarves cannot wear it, though it can be used as [[trade]] goods or [[melted]]. Goblin [[bone]]s and [[skull]]s are not particularly valuable, although - as with all bones and skulls - the bones can be crafted into bolts and the skulls crafted into [[totem]]s. | Goblins carry somewhat valuable gear.
